Courage Pie is a traditional English dish that was made during World War II. The British Government rationed the food supply and this dish was created as a way to encourage people to stay strong and determined during tough times. The dish consists of a savory filling and a flaky crust that is sweetened with brown sugar and raisins. This is a delicious meal to serve with friends and family during any gathering or occasion.

1.In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
2.Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to mix until it looks like coarse meal.
3.In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and slowly add in the ice water until you get a smooth consistency.
4.Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture until it forms into a dough.
5.Wrap tightly in plastic and let it chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
6.In a saucepan, add the yam, apples, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, clove, mace, madeira wine (or cream sherry), brown sugar, and butter.
7.Cook the mixture until it becomes soft and tender and let it cool a bit before adding the egg yolks.
8.Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and fold into the mixture.
9.Roll out the chilled dough into a disk and place in a pie dish.
10.Pour in the yam mixture and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350°F until golden brown.
